Chapter 162 Cutting Hair
Chen Yongliang picked up a wooden stick from the corner of the wall and assumed a defensive stance.
His current appearance is exactly the same as Chen Yongxing's before, which makes Wu Gousheng even more excited.
Wu Gousheng enjoyed seeing people afraid of him, but Wan Qiqi wasn't afraid at all and kept provoking him. Even her daughter wasn't afraid of him, which made him feel that he was a failure as a bully.
Chen Yongxing didn't react much. After pouring the water into the vat, he expressionlessly called out to Chen Yongliang, "Let's go fetch water together."
Judging by how fast my sister-in-law uses water, the water she just fetched probably won't be enough, as she still needs to make pancakes tonight.
Chen Yongliang was quite frustrated. He had just returned home and was immediately given two tasks, plus he had to endure a fright. To this day, no one had explained to him why Wu Gousheng was in his house.
No one explained to him that his second brother had already dragged him to fetch water!
The jujubes were cooked in a pot, and the steaming water filled the entire courtyard, carrying the fresh fragrance of the fruit.
Pingping and An'an held onto their empty cups of sweet soup, reluctant to let go, looking as if they wanted more.
Wu Gousheng, sitting on the wall, saw this and grinned crookedly, saying, "Wan Qiqi, it must be so miserable to be your child. You can't even get enough sweet soup."
"I didn't ask you to be my child, why are you meddling?" Wan Qiqi immediately switched to her sarcastic mode, raising her eyebrows and squinting at the person on the wall. "If you knock down the earthen wall, remember to repair it. There's no pay for it."
Wu Gousheng's smile suddenly froze.
What a joke this woman is! She was bumped several times by Erpang's size and it didn't collapse. He just sat on it once, how could it possibly collapse?
Despite thinking this, Wu Gousheng still tried to check if the wall was sturdy, because the woman's words seemed a bit eerie; it was as if something would definitely happen every time she said something.
When Wan Qiqi saw that he actually pushed the wall, she turned her face away and almost burst out laughing.
This mud wall is so stubborn that even hitting it with a hammer might not make it collapse, yet this person believed he could sit on it and it would crumble. How naive!
Wang and Lin Dazhuang were slightly confused by Wu Gousheng's actions, not understanding what he was doing.
Wu Gousheng turned around and met three pairs of eyes that looked at him like he was an idiot. He knew that he had been fooled by Wan Qiqi again and was furious.
He jumped down from the earthen wall, rushed to Wan Qiqi in a few steps, pointed at her for a long time without knowing what to say.
It seems he used up all the insults he could think of today, but the other party didn't respond at all.
Wan Qiqi slapped his hand away as if watching a child fooling around, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Aren't you going back? Do you think this is your home?"
"What business is it of yours where I am?" Wu Gousheng crossed his arms, looking displeased.
He'd only get scolded if he went back, so he didn't want to go back!
Now, only his younger brother is left at home. They are thinking of sending him to the academy, but they don't care about him at all. What would he do if he went back? It would be more interesting for him to stay in the Chen family.
Wan Qiqi noticed his aversion to home and guessed that he didn't have a good relationship with his family.
But with Wu Gousheng standing there, Wang Shi and Lin Dazhuang had to be extremely careful in everything they did, which was really inconvenient.
She said coldly, "But this is my home, and it's already dark. I don't want you to stay, so please leave."
Wu Gousheng snorted coldly, "Fine, I'll leave. Do you think I want to stay in your dilapidated courtyard?"
As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard, circled around, and sat on the wall of the Zhao family's house, looking in this direction.
Damn it...it's poisonous!
Wan Qiqi really wanted to throw a bucket of water at him to drive him away, but then she thought that splashing cold water in winter would make him catch a cold, so she gave up the idea.
The sky gradually darkened, leaving only a faint glimmer of light.
When the first batch of sour dates was ready, Wan Qiqi put them in a wooden basin and told everyone to peel them while they were still hot, while she started cooking dinner.
The aroma of fruit and vegetables mingled in the yard, drifting on the breeze to the neighboring house.
Wu Gousheng sniffed it.
It smells so good!
He rubbed his empty stomach, pouted, and grumbled for a while before finally jumping off the wall and leaving as the last rays of light appeared on the horizon.
Wan Qiqi looked up at the empty wall and couldn't help but sigh.
She thought that only in modern times would there be people who didn't like going home, but she never expected to encounter them here!
Chen Yongliang, with his sharp ears, heard the sigh and immediately asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you sighing?"
"It's nothing, it's just that we're having a big project these past two days, making sauce and pancakes, and we seem to be a little short-handed."
Wan Qiqi found that she wasn't earning much more money, but her workload was increasing, which made her feel quite tired. She wanted to just lie in the yard and do nothing.
Back in the day, wasn't this the same kind of life the original owner of this body lived?
Wang stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Wan Qiqi in the kitchen.
I don't know when it started, but her once straight back became slightly hunched, and her figure became increasingly thin.
Although the family's life is getting better and better, the eldest daughter-in-law is getting busier and busier and more tired.
She is constantly concerned about all matters, big and small, at home, and hardly ever has a moment of rest.
Chen Yongliang lowered his voice and said in a tone that the four of them could hear, "Mother, Second Brother, do you think Sister-in-law is very tired?" He felt that if he were doing so much work, he would have collapsed long ago, but his sister-in-law was still persevering.
Chen Yongxing said with a hint of scolding, "I know your sister-in-law is tired, so try not to cause trouble."
Then he sighed, "If we teach our sister-in-law well as soon as possible, she will have less to worry about. Yongliang, you have the best memory, so you must remember it clearly so that our sister-in-law can have more time to rest."
Chen Yongliang blurted out, "But if we learn this, my sister-in-law will come up with something new!"
After he finished speaking, a silence fell.
No one can refute this; it is the truth.
